Allwinner A133 vs MediaTek Helio P35

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks Allwinner A133 vs MediaTek Helio P35, speed testing of GPUs PowerVR GE8300 and PowerVR GE8320.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: A133 is quad-core (Cortex-A53) and Helio P35 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests such as Quadrant, Mozilla Kraken, Geekbench, WebXPRT 3, Neocore, AnTuTu, PassMark, PCMark, Vellamo, GFXBench, 3DMark, Octane V2, and how good the processors are in games Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Real Racing 3, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mortal Kombat etc.
   After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which processors is better to buy A133 or Helio P35 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9.
